I purchased this phone about 4 years ago. Its a decent phone. I wouldn't really call it a smart phone but it has some decent features. I did have data plan on it. I used it for about a year then i gave it to my cousin.

The phone itself does not require a data plan but your carrier may specify otherwise. I have the same phone for both my kids. We are all on AT&T; network. The phones work great.

No SMARTPHONE data plan required. You can check email, scores, etc. with the regular data plan for non-smartphones.

It is not considered a smart phone - no data plan required. It is only good for texting and calling. The web browser is terrible and slow.

It is not a prepaid phone. You must have a wireless plan that will work with this phone to use it. However, it is just a basic phone and not a smart phone so no data plan is needed.

No, they do not. You will be able to use it on a normal plan, without data required!

It's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon.However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

I do not use data on this type of phone. It depends on the plan you choose. Good luck!

Since I already had a Verizon data plan all I did was replace my old Palm Pre with this new one. I assume that YES you will need a data plan. Good luck.

Yes you would need a data plan as this particular phone does not allow you to have wi-fi capability. I hope this will help your decision.

Hi, Yes, you do Not need a data plan to use this phone. I had a AT&T; flip phone with no data plan. I just took the chip and plugged it into this phone and it works. It has wi-fi but the software is old.

It does not require any data plan. You can install SIM card and start to use it right away. You can choose any GSM provider here in US as well as in Europe. This is a reason to buy an unlocked phone. Unfortunately, we've sent it back to seller. It has very good design (it's a Sony(!), so you get a very good designed phone just by default). It was brand new, in the original box, but did not work at all, unfortunately again. May be it was just a Chinese grey copy, but it's only my guess.
